The COVID-19 crisis has dramatically, changed the way the people across the globe look at the Biometric Time & Attendance technology irrespective of their industry or sector.

From now on, businesses will pay much more attention to health and safety of their front-line workers that must be present physically at the premises. The need to observe social distancing, measure the body temperature and use contactless or touchless technologies will require revamping the way the workers enter and exit their workplace.

Enterprises will have to desynchronize the timing employees join shifts. The entire workforce entering the premises, for instance, at 9 AM will be no longer appropriate. Rather, employees should arrive for the same shift in small groups at periodic intervals – say, 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, etc.

Shortly, using contactless technologies, measuring the body temperature, checking for the mask compliance and analyzing occupancy of the workspace will be the new norm. The future will be in the hands of enterprises ready for rapidly deployed innovative solutions that combine the highest concern for safety at work and support for collaboration and productivity. These solutions should be of big help to businesses in their efforts of quickly re-opening the workspace.

Neurotechnology, a provider of biometric and AI technologies, offers a product called NCheck 生物考勤 that supports contactless face recognition for the staff from a very large distance. An important feature of this product is that faces are recognized even with the masks on.
